Basic RMAN question

Hi All,

I am starting to play with rman in a test environment, however I seem to be hitting a really basic problem starting rman.

I have oracle 9.2.0.1.0 installed on Redhat AS 2.1

When i issue the command:
> rman target='backup_admin/backup as sysdba_at_foobar' nocatalog log="test.log"
rman: can't open target=backup_manager/backup as sysdba_at_foobar

So i tested the connect string i had used as shown below:

Enter user-name: opcenter : foobar: /home/oracle: $ sqlplus /nolog  

SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Feb 26 13:04:56 2003

SQL> connect backup_admin/backup as sysdba Connected.

So I thought id start simple:
>rman nocatalog

rman: can't open nocatalog
>rman

this just hangs

So what have i missed?

Thanks

Ceri
